Welcoming new clients with a free 50 minute consultation. Using a psychodynamic lens, I work with a variety of clients- people experiencing anxiety, life transitions, professional issues or relational challenges. Some clients want to address self-esteem, perfectionism, health issues, or past traumas. I offer both online or in-person psychotherapy services based in Toronto that can help you work through your emotional difficulties, foster self-discovery, and support well-being. After three decades working in secondary education, I offer therapy to teens (14+), emerging adults, and people at all life stages.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a form of talk therapy that explores how early experiences shape unconscious patterns in your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships. Working within a supportive environment and using mind-body awareness, many clients have transformative experiences that help them live authentically and reach their goals.
Although I am a therapist, I have also taken my turn on "on the couch," so I understand the vulnerability required. We will work collaboratively, exploring old patterns that keep you stuck. Let me partner with you on this journey- the hardest part is the first step. Still not sure? Try a free 50 minute first session to assure a good fit for both of us.

My training is in psychodynamic psychotherapy. I work from a client centered approach and use the intersubjective lens which means you take the lead and I work with your subjective experience. I include attachment theory (patterns from infancy w a caregiver) and mind-body awareness so you can begin to understand your feelings. We will also work towards developing a strong sense of self.
